We wanted to start creating games for touch enabled smartphones and tablets and this book helped a lot as it had 4 awesome features in it:-1) Post Mortems of many successful touch screen games2) Developer Interviews with many talented and famous iOS and Android developers.3) Links to external GDCVault talks and many other interesting articles.4) Fresh, exciting funny writing style of the author.What this book contains?Advice, tips, hints and analysis of how to go about designing touch screen games and why some games are more popular than others presented in a fun and fresh way so that the reader does not doze off while reading. The author goes into sufficient detail and there is enough information here to get you started on your own mobile game adventure :)What this book is not aimed for?This book does teach you how to program or how to create art for your touch screen games, it focuses only on the designing of the games!Overall! A must buy for any one who is thinking of designing/developing games for today's modern touch screen enabled smartphones and tablets! :) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for console designers who think it's time to shift to Apps! *by V***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 2, 2013* I understand some people think this book is incomplete or pointlessbecause you can't develop a game with this book.But I believe this book is still a MUST read for game designers ESPECIALLY console designers who started to think about developing a game for smartphones or tablets.The author Scott Rogers was a great game designer/creator for consoles and HE KNOWS how console designers think.The way Scott thinks about what makes great games, which game genres you should pick, or whatever... is the way a great console game designer thinks.To me, it was really easy to read, understand, and follow.If you are wondering which way to go next,a big project AAA console title or an independent small project iPhone app,then this is the book for you.After you read chapter 11, the final chapter, you'll make up your mind.(At least I made up my mind.) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scott Rogers is funny, pithy, a great storyteller, & a great teacher - his books are splendidly useful *by H***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 6, 2013* My first exposure to Scott & his stories was at a GDC - Game Developer's conference. His topic was "everything I learned about gaming, I learned at Disneyland". It was wonderful. Since then I have read his blog, his first book - Level Up, and now his second book, Swipe This.Particularly funny title for me as I grew up when Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book" was first published in the 70s.I paid for my copy of Swipe This! because it is quite good and useful, and I want Scott to write more.If you are interested in learning, and also being entertained while you read about tablet and phone based games and apps, then this book is for you. Good for teachers, students, journalists, and people wanting to break into or improve upon their positions in the game and app creation world. Write more, Scott! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7024067-swipe-this-the-guide-to-great-touchscreen-game-design](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/7024067-swipe-this-the-guide-to-great-touchscreen-game-design) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
